London July 1939
Elizabeth Roby lives a content and privileged life in London with husband Jonathon and children, Emily and George. But with the outbreak of war, everything changes.
Jonathon informs his family that they have to move from their smart London home to the riverside town of Wivenhoe and their new home Harbour House, where Jonathon will do his duty for his country as part of the Admiralty at the shipyards.
But Elizabeth is devastated. How will she start a new life in a place she hardly knows, surrounded by strangers? And how will her children cope allowed to run wild in the countryside with urchins? Elizabeth is sure it will be a disaster!
But with the threat of German bombs hanging over London, she knows they must follow Jonathan and start a new life. Even if it means disaster for them as family.
Will the Roby family survive this turmoil? Or will Harbour House provide them with a second chance to start again?
A gripping and authentic tale of courage, duty and bravery!
Praise for Fenella J Miller:
Yet again, Fenella Miller has thrilled me with another of her historical stories. She brings alive a variety of emotions and weaves in facts relating to the era, all of which keep me reading into the small hours. Glynis Peters
Curl up in a chair with Fenella J Miller's characters and lose yourself in another time and another place. Lizzie Lane
Engaging characters and setting which whisks you back to the home front of wartime Britain. A fabulous series!' Jean Fullerton
Loved every word of this book. Fenella is a great author and leaves her books with you wanting more. I can't wait to read the next one. 5 star Reader Review!
